Drug prevention education is more than teaching the facts about drugs it is teaching children and youth about themselves, what is possible in their life now, and what is possible for the future. How the subject is taught is at least as important, and perhaps more important, than what is taught. Because many parents do not talk with their children about the dangers of drug use, educators are often left to fill the void. Teachers can help students learn the complete story about drugs , balancing the misinformation youth generally receive about drugs from their friends, the street and the media.

Skip to navigation links School life - If things go wrong: Drugs, alcohol and tobacco Education about the dangers Schools have a responsibility to provide drug education and consider their response to drug misuse. They do this by working in partnership with parents, health and social services, police and other agencies. Drug education should include illegal drugs, medicines, alcohol, tobacco and volatile substances such as glue. Schools are encouraged to draw up drug education policies. Schools should involve parents in the development of their policy on drugs and keep you informed as to what your child will learn and when.  Read below some frequently asked questions (FAQs) from parents on drugs education: What is my child's school teaching about drugs? There's nothing unusual in this, and certainly doesn't mean the school has a drug problem. All schools must teach about drugs, alcohol and tobacco as part of the science curriculum, and many discuss the issues in their Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) programmes. However, teachers only talk about what is appropriate for the different age groups.  Isn't it too early to start teaching children about drugs, alcohol and tobacco at primary school?

44. Keep A Cool Head - Drug Education In Primary Schools Major policy documents on drug education have encouraged workers in this area to Most Primary 4 children thought drug users must simply be daft , http://www.scre.ac.uk/rie/nl62/nl62shucksmith.html

Keep A Cool Head - Drug Education in Primary Schools Janet Shucksmith and Sheila Wood What do our 8 and 9 year olds know about drugs? Should education about drugs be extended down into Scotland's primary schools? If so, in what form should the education be offered? Is parentteacher partnership the way forward if drug issues are to appear in the primary classroom for discussion? These were some of the questions that guided a project undertaken last year on behalf of the Health Education Board for Scotland. Major policy documents on drug education have encouraged workers in this area to consider harnessing the potential of working with parents and other community members to make their work more effective. This qualitative study aimed to look behind the abstract notion that partnership is always a good thing and examine closer the sorts of issues that might arise in any attempt to collaborate on the issue of drugs. "Children's knowledge, where it does exist, is usually patchy and superficial. They talk of 'drugs' generally, but usually showed little understanding of the different types of drug available or their effects." Primary children and drugs But first, what did primary school children know about drugs? Were they ripe for education on this topic? The study used qualitative methods to explore the answers to these questions. Focus group discussions using 'draw and write' techniques were used with groups of four or five children in each of the top four years of four primary schools. The schools themselves were chosen to represent the range of environments in which Scottish children now grow up, from inner city housing estates where drug use is rampant, to small town settings and even an island school in an essentially rural community.

When should children start learning about drugs? West Kidlington Primary School in Oxfordshire put that very question to parents. The answers they received varied from the first to the final year of primary school. "You can see that parents hold very different views on the subject," said the head teacher, Eugene Symonds. "But I think starting in Year 5 when pupils are nine or 10, as we do, is about right." Stereotypes The school has been praised by Ofsted, which inspected drug education programmes in 60 primary and secondary schools and evaluated 200 more from Ofsted school inspection reports. Assistant head Katie Rhys-Jones teaches drug education to 10 and 11-year-olds in Year 6. "It's about introducing them to the concept of drugs, informing them and making them aware before they go to secondary school."

Consequently, Narconon staff and supporters work diligently to educate both children and adults about the dangers of substance abuse. Narconon initiated providing celebrities an opportunity to set a drug-free example for youth. Kirstie Alley as Narconon International spokesperson has done so through presentation of the Drug-Free Hero Awards. To date, more than a million young people have attended Narconon drug education presentations throughout the US and in numerous countries including Sweden, Italy, Germany, Russia, Israel, Lithuania, Hungary, Zimbabwe, Taiwan and Brazil. In an independent study to determine the impact of the Narconon drug prevention program, students from fifteen Southern California schools were surveyed before and after attending a Narconon drug education lecture. Eighty-six percent of the students who had indicated before the lecture that they might have used drugs in the future, afterwards stated they no longer wanted to use drugs. And 57% of those who earlier had been indifferent toward drug use now had a positive change of attitude.

The key element in most of the New Age /affective curriculum, such as Pumsey the Dragon, DUSO the Dolphin, Project Charlie, Quest and even to a minor extent DARE, is to allow the students to choose for themselves whether or not to take drugs.

In 1991 WF discussed hypnosis in the schools, the various Quest programs, gifted children curricula, relaxation techniques used in the classroom, non-directive teaching and the SRA reading program. This year, WF has discussed Pumsey the Dragon, the history and theology of Affective Education, the harmful effects of values clarification, and last month an expose of the DARE curriculum. While the stated purpose of many of these curricula is to keep kids off of drugs, which is an admirable goal, it is the techniques they use that are objectionable to parents. Techniques such as values clarification, meditative relaxation, affective decision making skills and encounter circles. One of the basic premises of the New Age theology is the notion that there is no ultimate right or wrong, good or bad action. Every thing is relative or subjective and all decisions are based on the individuals feelings, not facts.

54. Drug Education District School Board, said drug education is important in a world where children are inundated with drugrelated images on the street and in the media. http://cocaine.org/misc/drug-education.html

Source: National Post Date: 14 December 2002 Grade 6 class taught to snort cocaine 'My jaw just dropped' Adrian Humphreys The parents of a Grade 6 student have pulled their daughter out of a "Substance Use and Abuse" class at a Hamilton school after a teacher gave a step-by-step lesson on how to snort cocaine. Linda Harley, mother of Caitlin, an 11-year-old girl who attended Chedoke Middle School, said the teacher used white chalk to first draw a circle on the blackboard to represent a mirror or piece of glass, a surface from which cocaine is often inhaled. The teacher then drew dots on the circle to represent the white powder and students were shown how the dots are pushed together into lines that are then snorted through a tube, Mrs. Harley said. She learned of Caitlin's class last month when the family was eating dinner. "We were sitting around the table and asking her about her day. And we ask, 'What did you learn in school today?' And she says she learned how to snort cocaine," she said. "My jaw just dropped to the floor."

Send Me More Info Newsletter Both Please put your email address in the place indicated and then click the submit button Narconon staff believe that effective drug education is vital if the number of people being attracted to drug abuse each year is to be decreased. Narconon staff offer drug education through presentations in both public and private schools, juvenile halls and camps, youth groups and civic organizations and has considered this a priority since 1979. Even in the area of drug education, L. Ron Hubbard's discoveries provide new insights about how to better inform children and adults concerning the harm that drugs cause. Narconon drug education has proved highly effective based both on the positive responses of participants and on independent evaluations. One independent study of Narconon's drug education services conducted in 1989 by the Foundation for Advancement in Science and Education (FASE) measured the attitude change of students from the 2nd through 12th grade after hearing a Narconon drug education lecture and concluded: "Narconon's drug education program is effective in teaching students about the adverse consequences of drug abuse and has a very positive influence on the attitudes of students towards drugs. Students in the upper grades were well aware of the presence of the problem. What they wanted were hard facts on the real-life consequences of abuse. The most dramatic effect on attitude (was) observed in the border-line group of students - those indicating that they might use drugs in the future. The changes were quite pronounced: comments indicating that they would now never use drugs were common."

Email the FCDA The Family Council on Drug Awareness "Responsible decisions based on accurate information." DARE: Good intentions, bad results DARE and other drug education programs were introduced during the last century as a panacea for the perceived problem of drug abuse. Instead, these programs have fueled our children's interest in drugs by glamorizing and demonizing drugs at the same time: The forbidden fruit syndrome. For a better alternative to DARE, see the drug education website: www.safety1st.org A DARE officer plays with a student in Oakland , California. Why D.A.R.E. is BAD for Schools, Police, Parents What is D.A.R.E.? Drug Abuse Resistance Education, D.A.R.E., is a publicly funded program that uses law enforcement resources to help children resist drugs and gangs and to target at-risk groups and solicit information for police consideration. Preventing adolescent drug abuse is a national concern. A number of programs have been developed to tackle the problem, yet teen drug use has gone up. No program should be treated as a sacred cow at the cost of our young people's lives and well being. It's time for America to stop living in denial. Police are not licensed teachers and they don't belong in a classroom; they belong out on the streets to protect the community from crime, doing the job they have been trained to do.

Enter Your Email Address To Join Our Announce List: Keeping Drugs Away From Your Children It's a sad, indeed tragic, fact that Nixon's war on drugs has actually made it 7 times more likely for your child to come into contact with illegal drugs. The reasons are very straight forward: As the government increases the criminal penalties associated with prohibition, the price of various illegal drugs is increased. The increased price means greater profits for drug dealers. These greater profits attract more and more dealers, and especially, young teenagers. Remember that when alcohol was illegal under prohibition that young teens were attracted to the easy profits from the criminal trade of alcohol. The same is true of recreational substance prohibitions. And as our young are brought into the illegal drug trade, they bring that criminal element into our schools. Just like the days of alcohol prohibition, we need to remove the profits from the black market for recreational substances. Virtually every study done on the issue in the last several years has shown that only by removing the profits from the black market can we end the black market. And the only way to de-profitize the black market is to replace prohibition with regulation and taxation.
